#still unaware that it is not normal

[lolottes]

let's not forget our national Superboy too!

Jonathan is reflexively jealous at the mention that Damian is going to take him to meet his "first apprentice". He knows Damian too well not to understand the subtext here! He's going to meet his best friend's first best friend! His place as my best friend is threatened!!!

then Danny and Jon know immediately that: the other one is not 100% human (insert spiderman meme here)

Jon tries to keep distance but Danny is aggressively friendly, keen to talk positively about space and so happy to meets another non-human and flying buddies…

Meanwhile Damian is a little upset to see that Danny has made not one but two friends! and super loyal AND competent friends!!! This Samantha (yes he calls her that more than once) has the distrust and organization that the other two lack and Tucker is a natural ecto hacker, a diamond in the rough and unconscious of his values.

Then Damian realizes that their loyalty to Danny transfers to him when they take risks to keep him away from spectral activity despite his roughness. It was then that he completely changed his attitude with them.

He recognizes that Sam (yes, he ends up respecting her enough to offer her the right to impose her nickname) is very capable as well socially (she is the only one who can behave well in high society, she just chooses not to do) has a high moral standard… and it feels good to no longer be the only vegetarian in the group

Sam does the same, realizing that Damian's ways are due to his "family's brainwashing" and makes it her personal challenge to introduce him not only to as many manifestations as possible, but also to other activities judged as " rebel" by good society

Tucker finds himself with Wayne tech and immediately forgives ALL of Damian's rough history and adopts him into the Phantom closer circle the second -the others- Sam seems less resistant to this

Danny has, in the meantime, of course, given Fenton tech gifts to his new friends! Damian has a new non-lethal/anti-ghost weapon and Jon has anti-possession bracelets (which also allows you to punch the ghost)

Damian also used a fine Fenton work comb to remove all the microphones/cameras that were hidden there and gave jazz training to know how to do the same. Jazz is THRILLED to be more useful § AND her brother's childhood friend (of a clearly shady sect) is doing well (and is breaking away from his maternal family)

… Then she notices that this Jon has similar tics to danny… well at least she's reassured that he's not too ordinary for amity park?

And Cujo has bat quality fake service meta animal papers now :3

Damian had never seen another person his age before.

“Wow, you're good at that.”

Damian froze in his practice and looked over at the boy. It was after his lesson, his instructor had other students to teach, and Damian had his own private training area. Well, it was supposed to be private. “Who are you?”

“Danny, what's your name?”

Damian glared at the boy. Who doesn't know who he is? “I am Damian Al-Ghoul, grandson of the Demon's Head, son of the Bat, heir to the League of Assassins.”

“Wow, that's a lot... Can I just call you Damian?”

“Servants call me Master. How did you get here?”

Danny shrugged, “I was just looking around.”

“Just looking around...”

“Yeah, my parents are in the science lab down in the bottom basement with the weird lake and I was helping them, but then I got board and Jazz said I wasn't allowed to leave the lab, but when I asked Dad, he said I could do what I want as long as I don't get in trouble.”

“Oh, the idiot scientists.” Damian remembered how his mother had described the new scientists hired to study the Lazarus Pools. A pair of geniuses when it came to the scientific study of magic but idiots in all other fields. Surely only idiots would bring their children to live with the League of Assassins.

“What do you mean? If you're a scientist you can't be an idiot?”

Damian huffed at the boy. “You can be smart at one thing and dumb at others. Like you could be good at reading but bad at numbers.”

“Oh, I guess that makes sense. But I'm pretty good at reading and numbers.” Danny then smiled brightly, “It looks like you're really good at swording though.”

“It's called swordplay. And yes, I am good at it. Better at it at my age than many who are older.”

“Can you show me how to do it?”

Damian contemplated for a moment, “As long as you don't get in the way of my practice, I don't see why not.”

Danny cheered as he ran up to where Damian was standing, but Damian pointed to the side of the training area, “There should be a spare sword over there you can use.”

Danny nodded and ran to get it then ran back.

Damian wasn't sure if he'd like showing Danny how to use a sword, but he liked how Danny followed all his instructions. It was different than how the servants followed his orders, but Damian couldn't place why. It became common place, for Danny to show up after Damian's lessons and Damian would show him what he'd learned. It actually made learning new things easier because Damian had to figure out how exactly something worked in order to show Danny how to do it. Not only that, but when they practiced the moves on each other, Danny would change them and make it harder to beat him. Damian did win every time, but Danny wasn't half bad.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

Which companion is the most normal person?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

very fast scribble because i had to get this out of my system. they're at a house party. worst guests fr 🙄

[severeweatheralert]

The thing with irredeemable characters is that there's a point where they weren't irredeemable. They're tragedies that survive long enough to become horrors in their own right. Once upon a time they were young and scared and they should have been saved. Now the only path to victory is through them. Now we cheer for their destruction. Now we know they're the antagonist. Now we know we needed them for the narrative. For the heroes to succeed, they needed someone to beat, someone easy to hate, someone evil. Only they weren't always evil.

Once upon a time, they were a child who needed saving. But the narrative needed an antagonist more.

ughhh pretty nitpicky complaint maybe but I hate how some words in native american languages are simplified for the benefit of white people to the point where the original spelling(s) is rarely ever even mentioned. like my tribe, for example- the mi'kmaq, is about 98% of the time spelt micmac, its simplified english form and demonstrates to english speakers how it's (roughly) pronounced. which is usually fine, but like. last year there was a few small lessons we had about the wabanaki nations, and it was only ever spelt micmac. it's original spelling is never brought up ever. and it's a dying language, yknow? it's really not that difficult to say "mi'kmaq, pronounced and alternatively spelt micmac in english," but I don't even think the teacher even knew that. not even asking for it's singular form (mi'kmaw) just the actual title of what we're called in our language. like it's just one word. it's not asking them to learn a whole other language

Haven't been able to watch too much naruto recently. Been watching Maybe an episode a day ish. I just finished ep 419 tho and WHAT an episode to have ahead of me for grand number 420. Can't watch it rn tho bc I need to sleep and also I'm too tired to give it the full attention that I want to. Bc when I watch it, I will be embracing !!!!THE!!!! legendary Guy vs Madara fight in its FULL FORM!!!!!!

So exciting. God they're laying some major death flags lol, between the flashbacks stuff and the gate of death and well the saying he's gonna die 😂😂😂 I know he does survive it tho. But I'm also embracing this part with the Possibility of him dying. Bc that's what the others are reacting to too. And I wanna experience the full depth of emotion....

Excited for watching this next episode!!! It just cannot be right now.

Nezuko centric au where Tanjiro's killed during the Mugen Train mission- Giyuu becomes her caretaker and trains her Inosuke & Zenitsu instead of letting them fumble along

[teethbomb]

I love the new story but if it’s set in 1952 why does everyone dress like it’s the 1920s

[confinesofmy]

i hate the gradual excision of a bad relationship you thought could be salvaged. i hate the months or even years long discovery process as you create more and more boundaries trying to end up with something worth saving and then in the end failing to keep anything above "acquaintance." absolutely miserable.

[fuzzbuns]

Season 4……

[pepprs]

i will shut up abt this i promise but like. the concept of being in a stable safe mutually loving whatever relationship is INSANE . like how can you ever feel bad about yourself or wounded or whatever again. it’s like a superpower or somethi ng. <- doesn’t know what she’s taking abt bc she’s never experienced it or the absence of it after having it merely the negative space of it and is filling in the gaps w logic or something. but it’s INSANE to me. like of course i feel like shit about myself i am catcrumb unloved.jpg!

[minarcana]

I've noticed a particular genre of post where people claim to believe that 'mainstream media is not reporting on X' primarily because, they hadn't heard about a big story until they saw it being posted about online. And that led me to ask, how many posters regularly check what the 'mainstream media' is talking about?
